As previously reported by The Waterways Journal, the Capital Construction Fund (CCF) program of the Maritime Administration was recently amended to make this tax-deferral program available to many more U.S.-flag vessel owners and operators, particularly those on the inland waterways. Prior to this amendment, the CCF program had already proven attractive to those vessel owners and operators who had access to it. There is currently more than $2.5 billion on deposit in CCF accounts held by more than 140 fund-holders. This suggests that its extension to the many vessel owners and operators on the inland waterways is likely to result in a significant increase in the use of the program. |
